Trying On a Crown.

Any revelations bearing on the cor onation of Napoleon I by Plus VII will be interesting to the general reader. A writer in the Nusee des Famt1es has just given the public a series Of interesting details which he has compiled from the best original resources, and which are, by the by, of quite valuable kind. People who have followed in spirit the fortunes of the "Little Corporal need hardly be told that on the eventful 2d of Decem- Der, 1902, Napoleon is generally rep resented as feeling rather agreeably surprised that the crown was such a good fit for his head, and he is, more- over, reported as having said: "This crown is all right, but woe to the man who will dare to touch it p That these words, or words to that effect, were used by the superior on the oc- casion referred to is little doubted, but the writer in the uusee des Fam- tiles disposes altogether of the fallacy of Napoleon's agreeable surprise. One morning in the month of November, 1902, according to this authority, NJ. Nitot, the emperor's silversmith, was seen entering the Tuileries palaces carrying round package on his right arm. Addressing one of the imperial lackeys he asked if he could see his majesty.
 His majesty is not out of bed," was the reply.
 "Please announce to his majesty" said M. Nitot, "that should like to speak to him."
 The silversmith was soon afterward ushered into the imperial bedroom, where Napoleon and his wife, Jose phine, were still enjoying their re- pose, the former wearing 'kerchief around his head and the latter night cap. :
 "Oh, 'tis you, Papa Nitot," ex- claimed Napoleon. "Good- day, Papa Nitot; any news?"
 "Sire, 1 come to try it."
 "Try what, Papa Nitot?"
 "The crown for your coronation, sire"
 Whereupon Napoleon flung the 'kerchief to the other end of the cham Der, raised himself on his arms and was crowned there and then most re- spectfully by the silversmith.
 "It goes well," said his majesty, "doesn't it, Josephine?"
 "Yes, my friend, very well," was Josephine's reply.
 But you must see if it fits you also," he exclaimed to his wife, taking off the crown from his own head and placing it tenderly on hers, after hav- ing relieved his imperial spouse of the rather democratic cap she had been wearing. The crown proved to be as good fit for the empress as for the emperor, and both were delighted with Papa Nitot's dexterity in it's manufacture.
 The writer in the 1MpSee des Fama- teS happened on several unpublished manuscripts of the silversmith, in which he discovered the foregoing an- ecdote. It may be added that Nitot confirms the statement that Napoleon took the crown at Notre Dame out of the pope's hands and placed it most ungraciously on his own head.

CRIMES AND CASUALTIES.

1t is said that there is All anarchist
plot to break or blow up the Chicago jail,
but extraordinary precautions have been
taken to crush it in its inception. One ar
rest has already been made, and there is a
likelihood that more will be. The person
arrested was boy who was seen lettering
about the jail in company with man.
When the couple found that they were
being watched they attempted TO run away.
The boy was captured, but the man es-
capped. The police on searching him dis
covered several papers giving descriptions
of the Jail. The police are now endeavor-
ing to find the man who escaped.

doubtless intended to wreck the Kansas
City express. The passenger was fifteen
minutes late and the freight pulled out
ahead to run to Minooka. The excite

the belief that the Schwartz Watt express
car murder and robbery gang planned the
crime. A large reward has already been
offered by the Rock Island company, nnd
detectives are on the ground.
